Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Test, Male
This test measures Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), also called Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS), in a blood sample from a male patient. Quest describes it as used to assess male gonadal function.
About this test
AMH, also listed as AMH/MIS or Mullerian Inhibiting Substance, is measured in a 0.5 mL serum sample using immunoassay.
A single AMH result is one input a clinician reads alongside a person's history, physical findings and, where relevant, other hormone results, rather than a stand-alone answer.
Who might consider this test?
- Quest lists all of these as contexts where AMH in males may be assessed.
